Thirty Western Australian students from years 11 and 12 will take part in the week-long intensive program from 18 – 22 January, with practical workshops at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and lectures and workshops at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research (Nedlands). The Future Health Professionals Program gives students exposure to a range of career options within the medical science sector, to expand their view of what a career in this field involves. Over a 45-hour week, students will learn from clinical mental health practitioners, genetic counsellors, epidemic response professionals, nurses, paramedics, sanitation and hygiene specialists, and surgeons, among others. Kalien Selby, Chief Executive Officer Scitech, claims the remarkable program demonstrates how practical and credible exposure to career opportunities can have long-lasting impact on student’s enthusiasm and confidence. “We have seen time and again how students are empowered when they can make informed choices for their learning and career pathways, often identifying new opportunities they may not have previously considered.” Ms Selby said. “Scitech’s unique position as Western Australia’s leading science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) engagement organisation enables us to create an authentic link between school and industry, and we are proud to partner with Sir Charles Gairdner hospital, one of Australia's leading teaching tertiary hospitals, to provide this rich experience.” Ms Selby continued.

  • Apex Teen Fashion Awards
    Narrogin Senior High School Phone: 98819300 Fax: 98812170 Issue 6 2014 APEX TEEN FASHION AWARDS O n Friday the 5 of September the Narrogin/Wagin/Katanning Heat of the Apex Teen Fashion Awards was held at the Town Hall in Wagin. This Cqvrupey Sherherd year it was Wagin‟s turn to host the event which was well organised by Wagin Art teacher Shaun Vandenberg. The entrants from our school were year 10s and 12s who looked like professional fashion models as their strutted their stuff to the delight of the big audience. Teachers, parents, grandparents, siblings and friends joined to encourage the students in what is quite a daunting task of modelling their own garment. Descriptions of their garments and their hopes and dreams were read to the audience to give us some insight as to who these girls really are. All the things the girls had been worried about such as „what if I fall off the stage‟ or „what if I forget what to do‟ or „what if I trip over the hem of my dress‟ etc, etc didn‟t happen and afterwards even the most nervous girls said „it was fun can I do it again‟. The Apex Awards are an Australia wide competition with heats in all city and regional areas. The girls had worked hard since the beginning of term 2 and all looked gorgeous. They all deserved to win but of course there can only be a few finalists to go on to the State Finals in Perth. Day Wear finalists are Sam Dawes, Tahlia Milentis, Eveoiog Wear Fioalist Lauren Rayner, Shae-Lee Thompson and Brianna Watt The Evening Wear finalist is Courtney Shepherd.
